This week, HRC will conduct a social media campaign to raise awareness of how HIV/AIDS affects MSM, particularly men of color and those in the 13-24 age range—among whom new HIV infections are disproportionately high.

National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is September 27. It’s an opportunity to reflect on those we have lost, and focus attention on the fact that HIV still impacts the lives of gay men more than any other group in the United States.

National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day is a reminder to keep information about HIV at the forefront of discussions about healthy aging, to promote HIV testing among MSM without regard to age and to confront the challenges that place older MSM at risk for HIV.

Mark Brennan-Ing, PhD, Director for Research and Evaluation, ACRIA Center for HIV and Aging reflects on the progress achieved since the first annual HIV and Aging Awareness Day in 2008 and the work that still remains.
